Cardale Jones had Ohio State fans hyperventilating for a few minutes on Friday after pulling a Twitter prank.
Jones, who took over as starting quarterback of the Buckeyes for the Big Ten Championship game and led the team to the national championship, tweeted that he was transferring to Akron:
It was a rough decision but I think it's best for me, like to thank OSU for this amazing opportunity but my time here has came to an end

Jones let the joke run for all of eight minutes before reassuring fans he wasn’t going anywhere.
